You're right... It is closer to the 9. The reason I won't launch from there is twofold:

1. Boat traffic. USN subs aircraft carriers cargo ships sport fishing boats mega yachts and the like are all up in the channel and there's a real risk there launching at night.

2. Tides. I won't launch from sd or mission bay cuz the tides get so gnarly in the channels. If the tide is going out as you're coming in from a 20+ mile paddle! that is really gonna suck.

Tourmo is right on the edge of the south LJ reserve. So we can make bait on the edge of the kelp and just be on our way!
